If it "showed hubris", why did you "ask" if it made me feel better? Dishonesty? No, not hubris at all, just the deepest satisfaction.

It is an expression of my deep satisfaction at how the conversation has been going, is going, and will go.

Irrespective any caveats, what we know is God forgets sins today just as He did yesterday--any attempt to "re-jigger" this, to deny this is an instance of God not changing, but continuing as He always has, is an invalid arbitrary convenient attempt to save your view. Maybe you consider it a...

Sounds good. Chime in whenever you please.

"Their sins I will REMEMBER no more." : In the New Covenant, God FORGETS sin. There is no place to hide.

That's all right. I'm satisfied that your view is invalidated.

Does God only forget sin under the Law? Doesn't He forgive Gentiles who were never under the Law? Doesn't He forgive sins people commit whilst under the New Covenant? Has God changed, and stopped forgetting sin? If not, why, then, would He have changed, and stopped forgetting righteousness? No...

Your question is poppycock, trying to introduce irrelevancies that disrespect the stark reality of the matter, so I cut through the murkiness you desire to hide in.

It teaches us about God's character--He still forgets sin, so He still forgets righteousness.

Nope, their salvation from Egypt was already the type of our salvation (both by Passover), so the assumption is he's addressing truly saved people (Heb 10 "my righteous one will live by faith but if he draws back my soul has no pleasure" "without faith it's impossible to please God", "don't...

Our profession should be that we were foreknown, predestined, and Christ will never lose us--as for the person who was a believer, but whose righteousness of faith is forgotten, whose name is blotted out, God never said any of those things to them (so He is 100% faithful to His Word), and anyone...

An on topic answer--finally.

I'm not an "actual scholar", I heard Dr Michael L Brown affirm it. I Google and found article for you Strong’s Concordance – a Good Tool Gone Bad Let me know if it's helpful About the original point : I just wondered about the words' meanings, bc they sound similar and are apparently...

Thank you. This is what I believe.

In the title I provided citations?

Faith in God is not something that can occur naturally. When we believe in Him, it is actually taking hold of Him Himself. That can only occur if He permits it, if He gives Himself to you. If He were to remove that permission, if He were to no longer extend Himself to you, then you wouldn't...

If your Name is blotted out of the Book of Life, and your name is not going to be read out of It, it is not different from it never having been in it.

God does not remember your sins--He separates them from you as far as the east is from the west, puts them at the bottom of the sea. This same dynamic applies to righteousness which He "forgets". When He "forgets" you had the righteousness of faith, then it never existed. You are and always were...

Thank you for your correspondence. I've heard that Strong's is not taken seriously by actual scholars. Amazing. I love this reality--the Scriptures should give us comfort and hope. Romans 8 says we have the spirit of adoption, but we hope for the redemption of the body. But it does say we...

Yeah, your reading may "harmonize" with lots of other verses you read in particular ways, but it doesn't harmonize with its immediate context--not only that, but, again, while your solutions ("look, it's saying something similar to this other verse over here") have practical utility, grace...
